The Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides ânycto-â = Gr. ânight,â âereutesâ = Gr. âwanderer,â âprocyonâ = âraccoon,â â-oidesâ = Gr. â-oidâ) is a member of the canid family (which includes dogs, wolves, and foxes) and is indigenous to east Asia.
However, Asiatic Raccoons and domestic dogs are only distantly related3 4. The Canidae family (also called canids) contains more than 30 species of dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, African wild dogs, and two species of primitive canids5. The Asiatic Raccoon is one of the primitive species contained in the Canidae family. Evidence suggests that Nyctereutes procyonoides branched off of the Canidae family tree. to form its own single-genus, single-species branch approximately seven to ten million. years ago6.
